Biondi Santi Rosso di Montalcino 2019

Biondi Santi Rosso di Montalcino, Tenuta Greppo, Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy, 2019

Grape: 100% Sangiovese Grosso, 32ha vineyard spread over 5 plots, vines under 10 years of age used in the "Rosso" wine, fermentation using indigenous yeasts in concrete vats, 12 months' ageing in large old Slavonian oak casks

Producer Tasting Note:

"This flight of three Biondi-Santi wines starts off on the right foot thanks to the pristine bouquet and lively fruit of the 2019 Rosso di Montalcino. This is the entry-level wine (although the price point certainly suggests otherwise). It shows very detailed and chiseled aromas of wild cherry, cassis, dried violet, rust and orange skin. The wine carries a strong structural frame; however, the mouthfeel is ethereal and light notwithstanding." Drink 2025-2040

95/100 points, Monica Larner, WINE ADVOCATE, May 2023

"Bright, radiant ruby red. The nose is delicately fragrant, with ripe red berries, rose hips, a touch of dried citrus fruit, fine wood and some delicate leather spice. Polished and tightly woven on the palate, with a gently creamy entry, it comes in many layers, powerful and with a clear, precise length."
